Iran Barkley had a very good chin but he was def a gun slinger

 

Carmen Basilio had a fantastic chin he was only stopped twice by gene fullmer...made it the distance and arguabley beat sugar ray robinson twice but officially at least one. He was not merely a gun slinger, the man was very durable. I dont think he belongs in this category

 

i thought that this category is meant stylistically and that he fits it regardless of chin . BTW aside of Gene Fullmer he went down against Tony DeMarco and almost out if i'm not mistaken so his chin was very good , but not a LaPorte/MAG chin . And again , chin does not necessarily effect style , even if it should . Manny Pacquiao's chin is also very good , so i guess your post shows your underrating of him .

 

you can be a banger without being a gun-slinger necessarily. Tommy Morrison is the ideal boxer for this thread or Tommy Hearns they possess devastating knockout power but are very chinny so either way your going to see a knockout thats a gun-slinger one of you are going down no matter what. Basilio was a rugged banger that could take a lot of punishment so you could rock em but not necessarily take him out with one shot. This style by my definition is someone that can take people out hard and get taken out hard. no middle ground

Basilio said Fullmer was just too big for him.

Fullmer said he had a lot of respect for Basilio.

(Both of them hated SRR)

 

Rolando Navarette might fit this category. Over half his wins and half his losses were by stoppage.

 

Epifanio Mendoza - 32(28) - 14(7) - 1. 26 of those KO's inside 3 rounds including a 30 second KO over 17-0 Tokunbo Olajide, a 42 second win over 19-0 Rubin Williams at middleweight and a 3rnd stoppage of 13-0 Carlos Negron at heavyweight.

Jose Luis Herrera from Columbia, 16(16) - 11(8), 9 KO's in the opening round. Has wins over former world chapion Jorge Castro, 129-10-3 at the time, 21-3 George Blades and tko 5 Aaron Williams, 17-0-1.

Nigel Benn: damn the torpedos, full speed ahead all the time

 

A more recent one who I expect to be retiring Michael Katsidis.
